(9,111 posts)I think itll be very minor. People dont leave their homes or jobs in droves for this nonsense. You have a few loudmouths managing and few else, I think.
But if Bernie does any kind of well - despite polling showing him gaining black support as Biden slips - it will all be Republicans, and people will say it with a straight face. Is, very generously, peg it at two or three percent. Very generously.

(9,111 posts)Weve done it too. When Clinton was viewed as a shoe-in, I know people who went for Trump because hed be so easy to beat.
Howd that one work out.
Its all already baked into the cake. The only reason to care is if you want to cast aspersions on Bernies results. If Bernie gets, say, 23%, Id figure 21% were Democrats. Maybe 2% Republican. And again, Im being very generous. We can barely get the elecorste in general to vote, but suddenly a legion of Republicans are incoming?
I doubt it.

Jeffrey Rubin, 67, who moved to South Carolina from Chicago, warned before the event that Republicans pushing the scheme ought to be careful what they wish for. Years ago, when Obama was first running as a candidate for Democrat, all the Republicans back then said vote for Obama because hes Black and hell never get elected, Rubin said. No, Im not going to do that. I dont think theres any candidate the Democrats can get thats better or worse for Trump.

Deitress Smith, a Black supporter of the president who lives in Charleston, expressed a similar sentiment.Bernie wouldnt be easy to beat because hes like Trump. A lot of people thought Trump was easy to beat, she said.
Alan Woods, 70, a retired general contractor from Edisto Island, said that voting in the Democratic primary would be a waste of his time. Ive got other things to do tomorrow. Im not coming down here and voting with a bunch of Democrats, he said. Nina Ortiz, a retiree from Myrtle Beach, agreed. I dont want to encourage them. I dont want them to see they have as much support as they do, Ortiz said.

(94,728 posts)I know the story is good for media buzz, but the average Republican voter isn't a fanboy of Rush Limbaugh and isn't politically engaged enough to play games with their vote. If they vote tomorrow, they'll vote for whomever they actually like.
